long-term treatment for RA help

0 Recommendations

Hi. I am a single mom and a rheumatoid arthritis (ra) sufferer. When I feel that that ra is going to attack, I immediately take my pain reliever and it starts to kick in after about 45 minutes to an hour. This gives me time to still get some work done and take care of my kids when I get home. I’m wondering if you know of any long term alternative treatment or process that will remedy the ra?

I’m also an RA patient but I haven’t heard of a long-term remedy for it. What’s your pain medication? Do ask your doctor about tramadol. It’s been my med eversince and it helps me get through the day. I’m happy that you are able to take care of your kids. I know how painful RA is. Have a good one.
